Seek Out Those Who Look To Escape Justice After War in The Hunt
As the Third Reich collapses, former regime members scatter across the globe, trying to escape justice. Across multiple rounds, deploy your agents to investigation zones, gather and manage Clue cards with an innovative deck-building system, and conduct targeted hunts in America, Europe, or the Middle East. Use collected clues wisely to capture fugitives and earn Influence in military, scientific, political, or collaborationist fields. Strategic planning, timing, and exploiting faction-specific powers are key to outmaneuvering rivals and gaining the upper hand. The game concludes when a player reaches 12 World Domination points.
In this tense 2–4 player experience, you command one of four rival factions—the United States, the Soviet Union, the Tzaar, or the Network—each with unique ambitions and abilities, racing to track down and capture fugitives before your opponents do. With 60–90 minutes of gameplay, medium complexity, and strong historical immersion, The Hunt offers tense decision-making, deep strategy, and high replayability, making it a perfect choice for fans of asymmetrical and competitive strategy games.
